PARIS (Reuters) - French film maker Luc Besson is to make a
full length movie inspired by French photographer Yann
Arthus-Bertrand's "Earth from the Air" images of the planet,
French retailer PPR, the film's sponsor, said on Monday.

The film, with the working title "Boomerang," is intended
to contribute to "raising awareness of the dire condition of
our planet," PPR said. It is due to be released on World
Environment Day -- June 5 -- in 2009.

It follows in the wake of Al Gore's Oscar winning "An
Inconvenient Truth" and Leonardo DiCaprio's "The 11th hour."

Any profits from "Boomerang" will go to a foundation set up
by Arthus-Bertrand to promote sustainable development, PPR
said.
